Landlocked between France, Italy, Germany, Austria and Liechtenstein, Switzerland offers a huge amount of activities and natural beauty. Switzerland is an Alpine country, and therefore offers exceptional skiing in winter, hiking in summer and Swiss Alpine chalets for rent. The capital of Switzerland, Bern, is a melting pot of German, French and Italian cultures, fused with the tidy, prompt and well ordered Swiss mentality.

There is fantastic skiing, cross-country skiing, snowboarding, bobsleighing, snow shoe hikes through picturesque snow covered forests and lively après-ski in abundance.

Rarely have we been in an apartment which is so well equipped. Everything you needed for a self catering holiday was provided even down to the toilet paper!! We have self catered for many many years and there is always something that isn't there, but Chalet Black had thought of everything. The apartment was also spotlessy clean with good quality appliances, equipment and furnishings. Communication with the owner was very smooth and pleasant. Finally the view. This apartment has the most beautiful uninterrupted view of the mountains which you can enjoy from the generous balcony. It is a short walk along the river to Lauterbrunnen and there are countless attractions to visit from the apartment. I would certainly recommend this property without hesitation.

We were very keen to visit Zermatt with some family visitors from the US to us in Switzerland. Only 2 nights were available, and we took them. With assistance in planning the short visit from Adrian we were able to make the most of it from such a conveniently and well appointed apartment. Our US family left for the rest of the Swiss catch-up visit, very happy to have included the crown jewels!
